MacRoman -> UTF8

Subject: MacRoman -> UTF8
From: Ben Lachman <email@hidden>

My software uses UTF8 almost exclusively. However, for some odd reason, arguments passed from a perl cgi script to one of my command line helper apps are encoded as MacRoman. That's not a problem since I can just use [NSString stringWithCString:argv[i] encoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding]. However it seems that one can't convert MacRoman -> UTF8 after you get it into a NSString. Is there a way to make this conversion in code so that once I read the arguments I can just deal with them like all the rest of the strings in my app?

Another viable solution would be a way to make the arguments passed in UTF8 since they are when they're handled by the script anyway--they must be getting changed somewhere in the bowels of the exec/system commands.

Thanks,
->Ben
